Meta Description: Not sure if you should invest in a personal trainer or do things yourself?
It’s not a secret that the fitness industry is booming. People want to get fit and look after their health, which means they demand more and more coaches who are able to help them to do everything themselves. It makes sense to hire a personal trainer if you want to get fit. If you are already fit you will be fine, but if you want to do everything on your own you should have enough time.
It’s a strange dilemma, so let’s explore the pros and cons of each!
Pros & cons of a personal trainer
Having a personal trainer is great because they are very skilled in all things fitness. A personal trainer can help you to do a number of exercises safely, thereby limiting the risk of injury. You will get more from the exercise by performing them safely.
There are other ways that a personal trainer can help you become fit. Other types of personal training can help people learn to exercise in a way that helps them be more comfortable. Having a good posture helps you avoid future problems and minimize your suffering from back pain.
Having a coach who trains you will give you more motivation and help you to achieve goals. It’s easy to feel a compulsion to work out when someone has written a training plan for you.
Cost is one of the biggest downsides to having someone personal train you. Future Fitness understands that cost can be the one thing holding you back from getting the training you need, so they offer a 7-Day FREE trial for their customized program. That way, if you decide to use their service, you know that it is right for you.
Pros & cons of doing things yourself
On the other hand, an advantage of training yourself is that it allows you to plan things easier and more freely, so that you can work out your ideas whenever you want.
You have lots of free exercise videos you can download for free from Youtube (and even make your own).
But that’s really about where the advantages of doing things yourself end. A big disadvantage of doing things your own way is that you have to rely entirely on your own abilities to learn things and be motivated. It is easier to fall into bad habits if you don’t have someone to hold you responsible. There is always the safety aspect to take into account. Some people will end up injuring themselves when doing exercises on their own because they don’t know the proper form for their body. Some people watch videos that help them, but it’s not always easy to watch something in a video and do it exactly the same way. You don’t get any feedback from watching a video that tells you if you’re doing it wrong or not.
Working out with a trainer is beneficial for a lot of people. If there is something specific that you’re trying to achieve, or if it’s just your first time training, it is certainly worth having a few sessions. Unlike some other fitness companies, we offer both in-home and in-club training options, so that you can workout in the comfort of your home or at a fitness club!
